Horween Chromexcel Brown Leather 5-6 oz Panels

Horween Chromexcel Brown Leather Panels – 5–6 oz.

Bring timeless American leathercraft tradition to your next project with our Horween Chromexcel Brown Leather Panels. Made in Chicago by the legendary Horween Leather Company, Chromexcel is one of the most iconic leathers in the world—revered for its luxurious feel, rich pull-up character, and lasting durability.

These panels are cut from 5–6 oz leather (2.0–2.4mm thick), offering substantial weight and structure, making them ideal for belts, sheaths, sturdy bags, straps, wallets, and heavy-duty accessories. The leather is hot-stuffed with Horween's proprietary blend of oils and waxes, creating a smooth surface with a supple hand and a lustrous sheen.

The Brown Chromexcel color is a deep, classic shade with warm undertones that lighten beautifully at stress points, revealing the signature pull-up effect. Each panel is pre-cut for convenience—perfect for small batch makers, hobbyists, and those looking to experiment with premium leather without purchasing a full side.
